Any other recommendations? The party starts on Friday, and won't end until Monday.

Tons of things that blow up, ammo and guns along with a large amount of beer. I don't see anything that can go wrong here.

Maybe you should have an ambulance on stand by. And maybe the coroner too.

Yeah, I have considered that and have put local emergency response crews on full red alert. Keep in mind this is all spaced out over three-four days, so it's not like we're gonna slam two kegs and light up the hillsides with a mad minute...wait, we might actually do that. Okay, need at least one more keg.

Not full-blown redneck, but getting there. And everyone LOVED it, said it was the most fun they ever had at a wedding.

It was still classy with big white tents, sculptures rented, etc.

Mud pit would be epic...except that this is at her parents river house and her dad is very protective of his lawn. We have 3.5 acres to play on where the wedding is being held, but thousands of acres of USFS land behind it. Most of the real fun will be had there. I'm just hoping that the mattress holds out for at least a few dozen rides.

We're really going for fun and laid back, should be good times had by all. We tried keeping it small, but it has rapidly reached the century mark. I'm thinking that had something to do with free beer, free pig roast, and all the redneck sheenanigans I've planned.

We're also considering renting one of those catapult things, basically a trampoline and bungee slingshot all in one. $650 for the day to rent it though because it requires two trained operators. Hmmm...maybe I should sell tickets to cover the expense.

If you are serving draft beer, outdoors, and you do NOT have a jockey box:

Then you're doing it wrong.

Under no circumstances whatsoever should you dispense kegged beer from a bucket of ice with a hand pump. It's just... It just sucks, okay?

ETA: A 1/2 barrel keg is 124 pints. Times 3 kegs, divided by 100 people for 4 days, that's less than a beer per person per day.
Three kegs per day would be a good starting point.

Also, if you've got all that ordnance, then I think you need a car to shoot.

ETA x2: Don't shoot a car on public land. If you can't get dad to go along with it, then just stick to whatever else you've got going. I'd recommend paintball, but if you wouldn't ever use the equipment again it's not worth it.

We won't actually have 100 people there all 4 days, most likely about 25 on the off-wedding days. I like the jockey box setup, don't know if I'll have time to rig one up though. :( Car shoot, hell yeah!

The most redneck wedding I've presided over included
1) 8 1/2 mos. pregnant bride
2) Bestman in a "wifebeater" and jean shorts
3) Reception was a case of bud and a bag of pretzels
4) Bride didn't want to be seen by groom before ceremony. Problem - it's an outdoor wedding. Solution - Walmart blue tarp hung between two trees to block his view.
5) Music - boom box and CD. "DJ" was recruited right before ceremony and instead of switching on the CD, hit the radio and the bride and groom left to the dulcet tones of the local rap station.

For your wedding:

I don't think I've heard you say anything about a tractor
See if you can get the minister to agree to what I call "Redneck Vows."
Minister: D'ya?
Groom: Yep!
Minister: D'ya?
Bride: Yep!
Minister: Well, Allright then! Light'er up!
Bride and Groom Kiss

Any legitimate place that sells kegs should be able to rent you a jockey box. If they can't, then you need a better retailer.

Of course, being anywhere that you HAVE that much land to horse around on might not lend itself to a large selection of retail establishments.

Note: Do NOT try to go cheap with draft equipment. The Chinese stuff is complete shit and it will leak beer and taste like pennies. You need proper, American-made, chromed or stainless draft equipment.
Also, you cannot ship a filled gas cylinder through the mail, so you will need to run to your local gas distributor for a CO2 tank fill. They can also sell them to you if you want to save the shipping weight.

Yeah, this town has maybe 300 residents, one small grocery store, two gas stations, and a couple of bars. We're gonna have to take what we can get! Thanks for the website though, I'll look into that.

Sounds like you've already got everything you need for an awesome wedding. Here are a couple of redneck-ish things that I've seen at weddings you might enjoy:

In Jewish weddings, it's traditional to step on a wine glass to symbolize something or other. A couple I knew did a redneck variant of this tradition by stomping on some beer cans together at their wedding (during the ceremony, not at the reception).

Also, you need livestock. I once went to a wedding where the bride took photos (wedding dress and all) with her favorite cow.

Hmm... redneck... light a cigarette off the barrel of an ar-15.
Melt the hand guards off an ak-47.

Shoot at a propane tank, cinder block, 4"x4" blocks...

Spell your name in the trunk of a tree with bullets.

Car hood, rope, and ATV! WIN.

We were going to use a car hood, but figured a mattress would be better. We're using a UTV, not an ATV though...but this is one of the new RZR's with the performance package, and some "additional upgrades" that are currently being installed. Should be pushing close to 120 hp by the time of the wedding. :)

––––––––––––––––––––––––––-
I have to run the BS flag up - disrespect HER day and you will pay for it later.

Picks of Bride with all the groomsmen wearing only boxers and bow ties will be required.

Actually, she's being really cool with it all, she is afterall from Montana!!! The mattress rides idea originated with her and she is donating the mattress. One of my groomsmen just sent me a text this morning asking if he could wear nothing but chaps, yikes. That's definitely a no-go. Flannel, sleeveless shirts? Heck yeah! It's a come as you are affaire, so I fully expect to see anything from jean shorts to pajama pants.

To all the worry warts out there that think we're going to get shitty drunk and shoot each other or blow ourselves up, you might be right. Can we borrow your airsofts for the weekend? In all seriousness, everyone that will be there is extremely safe with firearms, it's about the only thing they are safe with. I'm actually scheduling the shooting for earlier in the day so we can avoid any problems. It is kind of sad though that on a forum such as this that there are actually people against the American way of beers and guns. What's next, no drinking and driving?

Treadhead, our wedding is going to be very similar to the one you posted the pics of. I'll just call it "classy-redneck deliciousness" for lack of a better term. Goal #1 is that everyone has a blast. Goal #2 is to drink enough so that the next morning I forget that I'm married.

The tractor was high on my list, I have an old Ford 6N, but it's about 100 miles from where the wedding will be, so it would be a huge pain to drag it over just as a prop.

I'm seriously thinking about giving her a "good game" slap on the ass right after we kiss though. The person officiating the service is a good friend and District Court Judge, and very avid hunter. I have worked it out with him to say, "Do you take ______, for better, for worse, 'til hunting season do you part?"

Oh yeah, we have the dogs part covered. My chocolate lab and her corgi will be wearing bow ties, and grand total, there will be right around 7 or 8 dogs there.
